* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': In "News Glance With Genevieve Vavance", Roger-as-Genevieve Vavance keeps a gun ready to shoot any staff member that has a bad idea. One staff member gets to live solely because Genevieve forgot to load the gun. She laments that she needs a bullet intern and recalls what happened to the previous one with a pained face that suggests she shot her too. Then she reveals that really, the previous intern simply went back to school.

* Many, many times in [[Podcast/TheMagnusArchives]]: Gertrude Robinson has admitted, though subtly, that she cycles through workers like clockwork. The most character that we've gotten for one of these unfortunate interns is [[spoiler: Michael, who she used to [[HumanSacrifice foil the Spiral's ritual]] and force it into a [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm tangible, comprehensive form]]. Of course, judging by the way "Michael" put it, this containment procedure was [[AndIMustScream unpleasant.]] Oh, and Michael's existence was ripped to shreds not only with his [[TearJerker undying trust in Gertrude shattered]] but [[DyingAlone alone.]]]]

* Surprisingly, the Wiki/SCPFoundation actually averts this one; interns only get occasional passing mentions and are never deliberately sent into dangerous situations. It's not that [[GoodIsNotNice the Foundation]] doesn't have a high tolerance for casualties, of course, but [[PragmaticHero training is expensive and high staff turnover is bad for morale.]] Besides, when they need CannonFodder they've got the [[BoxedCrook D-Class personnel.]] And even then, while early canon terminated D-Class at the end of the month to avoid any word of what they do leaking out, this has slowly been removed due to the logistic nightmare this would be.

TheIntern is the lowest of the low in the company's command. In fiction land they're often not utilized for much besides [[YouGetMeCoffee getting the boss coffee]] and are often abused because of their lowly status. Sometimes that abuse is {{Exaggerated}}. And thus they become A Disposable Intern.
When the company needs to test the latest in unstable RopeBridge technology and there's a choice between sending out a main character or the intern we just met, more often than not the intern is going to bite it. There's NoOSHACompliance after all, and if a nameless intern dies who cares, [[RedShirt at least the danger is now known and a main character didn't have to die to show it]]. Interns are replaceable; main characters, who are more specialist and higher in the ranks, aren't. Don't worry, this horrible negligence will more often than not be PlayedForLaughs as a different Disposable Intern will sometimes be seen and killed regularly, often to the point of a RunningGag.
